Tascam MX-2424 software stability
Just been clearing down some old projects from the three different SCSI
disks (two internal and one external) attached to a Tascam MX-2424, and the software has some stability issues! After a few projects have been loaded, then unloaded, I get this general purpose error message "RAM low, unmount and cycle power". This error happens more frequently when using the MX-View remote control software, but it also happen when controlling the machine through the front panel. What concerns me is that a few days ago, after recording several takes of a song (all in the same project), it suddenly issued this catch all error message and wouldn't function any more - kinda messed things up for a while. The recorder currently has version 3.12 of the MX2424 software, and I've hunted around on the net for an upgrade (assuming there is one), but can't find one. Tascam has dropped all reference to this recorder from their website, so all the other web pages that talk about "Visit Tascam for further details" of the software are no longer valid. To minimize the problems, we've decided that live sessions should be recorded only onto an internal disk without the MX-View software fired up. Has anyone else experienced these types of errors before? Does anyone know if there is a more up to date version of the software available, and if so, from where can it be downloaded? Yes, I will call Tascam about it, but I was wondering if anyone already had an answer. Chris W -- The voice of ignorance speaks loud and long, But the words of the wise are quiet and few. --- |

I appreciate the MX-View software isn't the whole issue here, but I seem to recall that the software was Java-based, in which case it may be sensitive to the version of Java that's installed on the computer. If it's not already mentioned in the documentation you have, one of your questions to Tascam should be which version they recommend. -Nick |

We've tried getting MX-View to run on Linux, and it won't have it. Must be making native Windows OS calls or something. I'll check it out.

While TASCAM has dropped all support for the MX-2424 (and the company that developed it has gone away) there must be a support group for it somewhere. You might call TASCAM, speak to Jim Bailey, and ask if he knows of any user group resources. If anyone would know, he would. |

I looked through a stack of business cards to try to find a direct phone number for you but didn't see his. You'll just have to go through the "directory tree" and probably leave a message. He's a busy guy as now he's the Digital Products Manager. |

Posted a message there also to see if someone has any clever work arounds. Chris W -- The voice of ignorance speaks loud and long, But the words of the wise are quiet and few. --- |
